Hi there Ud-ers!

The more I develop in UD, the more I encounter custom situations and problems. I wanna start here sharing tips and tricks on using already existing extensions. Hope this will get 'hot'

E.g. I combined the "MM User Login Behaviour" together with a "Set cookie if checkbox is yes".

Problem: even if the login was incorrect, the cookie was set!
Solution: take the "Set cookie..." code down to where the MM script returns the comment 'This is a valid user' and past it there.

The cookie then will only be set when the login is correct!

Hope to hear much more like this from the communitey

Wow e_site, that's a good initiative. Why don't you post your Tips & Tricks in the FAQs section? I can even make a new category for it when you need it.

You are not the only one hoping to see lots of tips... this is defenitely what we need on a site like this (i.e. we need content <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>.

Thanks, feel free to post everything you know!

P.S. briefly I will develop my first UltraCart site. I was thinking of writing some kind of "daybook" so anyone can follow this, the problems that occur, the soltions for those... Just kind of a "looking over your shoulder" feeling?
What about it?

Cool, I already talked about this a few weeks ago with someone else, but never heard from her after that period. I think it would be really usefull for people that want to start with the shopping cart.

Another one:

Not sure if this has been done already... I use this code snippet to stuff a cookie into a Session.

&lt;%
If Request.cookies("Your_CookieName" &lt;&gt; "" Then
Session("Your_SessionName" = Request.cookies("Your_CookieName"
End If
%&gt;

Put on top of page. This is really handy for MM logins that also use the "Set cookie if checkbox is yes" extension. No re-login required now whe nthe guy comes back; the MM_Username Session var is directly pulled into the page.

e.g.
&lt;%
If Request.cookies("CK_Username" &lt;&gt; "" Then
Session("MM_Username" = Request.cookies("CK_Username"
End If
%&gt;

Tweak at your own needs

Here is workaround for another problem I had today:

Using the LinksList behaviour with more than one RS might cause a little bug...
